Antonio Tarver informed RingTV.com on Thursday that he has returned to training in Miami after suffering a fractured thumb that forced him to pull out of a Sept. 29 heavyweight bout against Johnathon Banks.

Adrien Broner’s trainer Mike Stafford plans to “unleash” a “more vicious” version of the WBC lightweight beltholder on Paulie Malignaggi, who Broner challenges for the WBA welterweight title on July 22.

Johnathon Banks spoke to RingTV’s Bill Emes after upsetting Seth Mitchell the way his late mentor Emanuel Steward would have wanted – by KO. Banks says he would like to fight Tomasz Adamek or beltholder Alexander Povetkin next.
